- On USB3 port speed values are fluctuating, but consistently really too low ... the drive is operated at an NEC USB chip, not the worst of its kind since I would have expected a reasonable speed, as well as the transfer rates ever break again. one ...
- On USB2 port a picture of horror, reading rates are OK, at the maximum, but the write rates ever break one, partly to 12MB / s, which is not acceptable in a HDD ...
- The connector for the USB port has a relatively long game ... probably. therefore get the dropouts? The thing I will not pursue further ...
Now the killer problem:
The temperature immediately after the first byte it goes to 48 degree high, then warens in operation after 5 minutes already 51 degrees and CrystalDiskInfo has spoken out and warned ... after 10 minutes, the 53 degrees were then cracked ... unacceptable ...
It may be that the temperature is still within the specification of the used plate, but well does the board in any way and a long lifetime, I would not expect ...
Google has tested at your server farms with 100's hard drive times and came to the result that on the failure rate at an operating temperature of, I think, 45 degrees after 2 years dramatically increases ... a rogue of evil thinks, because the board must indeed only 2 years warranty survive ...
For me, this is certainly nothing I would sit down on an external disk backups and I do not want to constantly have to worry that one probably the plate. gives up the ghost.
Who anyway planned a short life for the plate, because he wants to save anything important on it, and the transmission rates are not matter, for they can still be interesting because it is quite cheap.
Where billg also relatively, because 135 euros by 2-3 years is me personally too much ...
The fact that the connectors you have to cobble together yourself, I rate less positive, so the manufacturer saves just different versions, for me too little attention to detail and not enough close to the target group ...
This is my first Seagate drive and probably my last, somehow I had expected much more from a well-known brand ...
